Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (buttocks) visited a specialist in New York and has a piriformis injury. However, the injury isn't considered serious, but Howard's status for the season opener is in question. Head coach Scott Brooks didn't see whether or not Howard would be ready by the opener. It could be too early to […]

Thaddeus Young Will Play on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (foot) missed all of training camp and the beginning of the preseason.

He's expected to […]

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) isn't ready to practice yet due to a left ankle issue, according to head coach Fred Hoiberg. The Bulls have been cautious with Valentine, and the fact he's not on the practice court is not a promising sign. There is a good chance that Valentine misses all of the […]

Derrick White Likely to Remain in Starting Lineup

San Antonio Spurs point guard Derrick White has seen his fantasy value skyrocket overnight with Dejounte Murray (knee) out for the season. The Spurs seem reluctant to add an additional guard at the moment, according to Jabari Young. It sounds like the Spurs are going to give White a chance to earn himself the starting […]

Frank Mason III Could Join Starting Lineup

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Frank Mason III got the start at shooting guard during Monday's preseason contest. Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is sidelined, so either Mason or Buddy Hield are the most likely candidates to take over the starting spot.

Booker was given a six week timetable, but maybe there is a chance that he beats it. He's reportedly been going through most drills and getting up shots with his right […]

Kyle Anderson Sits Out of Practice

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (heel) sat out of Monday's practice, but reportedly did want to be out there.

Jahlil Okafor Hopes to Get on The Court Soon

New Orleans Pelicans center Jahlil Okafor (ankle) said that he's hopeful to get back on the court before the end of the preseason.

Draymond Green Participates in Shootaround

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) participated in Monday's shootaround, but he'll remain on the sidelines against the Suns. He was able to go through shootaround without any issues. The next step is likely to get Green into a full contact practice. Green might be able to get on the court for Wednesday's contest, […]

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (ankle) and power forward Blake Griffin will make their preseason debuts on Monday against the Nets.

Evans sat out the first preseason game, but was able to play in the second contest. Evans has a history with injuries, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pacers be cautious here. Evans could be a […]

Thaddeus Young Remains Out of the Lineup

Indiana Pacers forward Thaddeus Young (foot) remains out of the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Young has not played in the preseason yet, but did return to practice. T.J. Leaf will see increased playing time with Young sidelined. Leaf is averaging 28 minutes this preseason, but that will likely change […]

Cory Joseph is Out on Monday

Indiana Pacers point guard Cory Joseph (knee) is out of Monday's preseason game versus the Cavaliers.

Love is reportedly dealing with foot soreness, so hopefully it is not too serious. He is likely going to play a big role on the Cavs this season if he can stay healthy. However, staying healthy […]

Jonathon Simmons Will See Minutes at Both Guard Positions

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons is expected to see minutes at both shooting guard and point guard this season, according to John Denton.

Neither player is locked into heavy minutes, so […]

Dario Saric Misses Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric (back) did not play in Monday's preseason loss to the Dallas Mavericks. This was a rest day for Saric who has been dealing with back soreness lately. Fantasy owners should not be worried because this sounds like a minor issue. Mike Muscala started in his place, but Saric will see […]

The Memphis Grizzlies will sign guard/forward D.J. Stephens to a two-way contract. The 27-year-old last played in the NBA with Milwaukee during the 2013-2014 season.

Josh Reynolds Could Play Bigger Role Next Week

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds hauled in his first two receptions of the season against the Seahawks in Week 5. He finished with two catches for 39 yards and rushed once for 10 yards. Reynolds is a talented receiver, but buried in the depth chart. However, both Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp went […]

Cooper Kupp Hauls in TD Before Exiting

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp could've had a much bigger day if he was not forced to exit the game early on Sunday. He did not play in the second half and the team announced he was being placed in concussion protocol. Kupp caught six passes for 90 yards and one touchdown just […]

Robert Woods Continues Solid Play

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods continues to be a solid fantasy option every week since his Week 1 dud.
